Hi all,
just saw this from the papers that the Optus $30 SIM is on special for $10 on most stores.
looks like Optus have also matched Telstra on the 5Gb bonus as well
Cheers

Removed illogical comment of my own
I couldn't find any last week. And probably won't this week either.
raincheck? :)
I tried asking and they said they don't do it on these. Strictly while stocks last.
@lostn:
True, they don't
So will the $5 ones we got last week now have bonus 5 gig data
If you haven't activated it yet, then yes. They have no way of identifying only those SIMs that are bought during this 'promo' period
That good I bought 6.
How many will you activate before Dec 6? :)
@ashar:
2
telstra deal is still better.. unless you need optus for more convenient calls. Telstra also has a later 'last activation' date
which plan is the 5gb of bonus data on as they have 4-5 plans from memory.
i doubt they give u an extra 5gb on the 500mb for $2 a day plan.
probably in the small print.
also keep your purchase receipt as i had an optus sim pack unopened give the error message this sim has expired and it had a may 2016 expiry date.
havnt called optus yet or ombudman and dreding 30 -60 mins of talking to customer service in phillipines trying to get it fixed.
i can see why optus is now the most complained about provider.
havnt received all my netflix vouchers from the recent phone deals either…but thats another cjore.
my prepaid ultimate plan i tthink i see in the small print.
I had 1 to activate on Monday. On my noticed it expired 01 Nov.
Phoned up and apart from a few minutes wait to get a CSR,all activated and alsetuo within minutes.
Also git bumped up to 528th on this one. Said I had 2gb, but then have me 5gb.
Was very satisfactory
Does anybody know if it is available in Victoria, didn't see the advert in the Melbourne Herald Sun?
@kelandmal
I would hope nationwide.
I saw the ad in QLD yesterday, so unless the OP was on holiday in Qld ;)
(OP says Sydney in profile)
Bought 2 from coles, scanned as $15 :(
Still ok though
You can buy it online from Optus http://www.optus.com.au/shop/mobile/prepaid/sim
Any limit on how many can be ordered?
I can order 3 each time so I did just that, didn't try putting in another order.
Had trouble when ordering 9 telstra prepaid sim last time and they refused to give me a refund.
You could use other family member's names and ID if ordering more than 5 , that should work fine.
tried to buy in Coles, no stock. Went to Woolworths, they said they never have $30 sim pack. Went to Dick Smith, they never have $30 sim pack, they checked for me in computer, only City has stock. Went to Big W, they said they never heard about $10 deal, scanned in computer, $20…
I am thinking Optus is doing a doggie deal.
Can't see how the new my prepaid ultimate plan is different to the my prepaid monthly plus apart from the validity period (ignoring the bonus data). I only compared the $30 plans. All the entitlements seem to be the same but the ultimate plan is only valid for 28 days rather than the 30 days for the monthly plus. Am I missing something here?
… also, all add-on last for 14 days instead of 30.
Is it $10 for the first month only. After the recharge expires
the next month is it $10 or back to $30?
It's normal price after the first month.
If you buy multiple cards, can you top it up the next few months for $10 dependant on how many cards you bought?
I don't think anyone is saying you can recharge for $10
@Steptoe:
So why would you want to buy multiple cards? ?
Regardless on the bonus data it's $10 for 28 days unlimited calls/SMS +1.5GB. Can port out and back in, maybe with a simialr starter deal from Vodafone or Telstra starter packs.
@Steptoe:
I have a child who is having their first phone. What is the best way for them have credit to call people without paying every month to upkeep the plan??
Depends on how many call expect to make over a year. Plenty offers of up to 365 day expiry. Just disable Mobile Data or credit will evaporate.

@Steptoe:
Thanks heaps for the advice Steptoe!!
@woekoa: Get a PAYG plan. Amaysim offers one.
@lostn:
Thanks lostn!!!
Will look into it.
@woekoa: Do note that these type of plans are best for light users.
If you actually use it a lot, the unlimited plans are best value.
at K-Mart Burwood NSW tonight
there were plenty of:
It was $5 at Woolworths last week.
